Wednesday I flew from Powell River to Vancouver. The flight was delayed about two hours because of a snow storm moving through Coastal BC.
The pilots of Pacific Coastal Airlines are used to the varied flying conditions in our area. Their experiences gives me confidence in flying in all sorts of weather.

Take a realistic look at life in a remote location where you make your own power, live in harmony with nature, and determine your own destiny. Read Off the Grid by Wayne J. Lutz and see how it works for a couple living in a Coastal BC float cabin.
Nice video - the bit at the end, of the South Terminal, especially says it all about the weather.
ReplyDeleteThanks Paul - I love those old boxcar airplanes. Don't see those very often in Powell River any more. Do you watch YouTube videos by niceprguy2? He has some nice Pacific Coastal shots. - Margy

Not sure I would have wanted to be flying that day!
ReplyDeletepack my bags! It means travel to fly. And I love travels.
ReplyDeleteLoved the video, perfect for Sky Watch.
ReplyDeleteLove the video. Nice planes to fly in. Used it once before, hope to do so again soon. So quick. Thanks for stopping by.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! We're used to all sorts of flying conditions in Montreal as well. About a month ago my boyfriend landed in freezing rain and was delayed by about a half hour because the airport was only running one runway at a time. They would use it until the pilots reported 'low breaking action' aka: too much ice and then switch them over to another runway they had just de-iced while they cleared off another. It takes a lot to close down an airport in Canada :oJ
ReplyDeleteMUCH nicer than the plane that flies from Medicine Hat to Calgary (at an enormous cost now, too). We also have one passenger on either side, but the seats are old, narrow and uncomfortable. Looks like you don't have much more headroom than we do, though. LOL

Nice ride! I like sitting over the wing. :) Seems like a lot of snowplows for so little snow, though.
ReplyDeleteThanks Margy for giving my channel a mention. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoy you videos niceprguy2, glad to share them with my readers. - Margy
